Although it was a last minute decision, I am so glad I took myself to the theatre. The staff was wonderful, the atmosphere breathtaking, the production was out of this world!! The cast/costumes/singing set/musicians, etc were top notch!! As someone with a trans kid, I had tears in my eyes of joy for the production that shows us all how to accept everyone for who we truly are!! Thank you for a wonderful show!!
